How does this story mesh with Hilliary constantly pulling the rug out from under Israel, and all the Libtard Jews of America voting against Netanyahu?

I'm sure you have cites for all of that.


HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... ... ... ...

OH, btw, did you know that New York Jews can't for or against anyone in an Israeli election, and specifically not against Netanyahu ?

All of the Dual Citizenship Israelis in New York can return home to vote. Those Israelis residing in New York and Florida predominantly vote against Netanyahu, and the resident Israelis voting in America via absentee ballot vote almost exclusively for the Democrat Party in America as long as it opposes Netanyahu, which it always does. In the same way the Libtard Jews vote against Netanyahu by voting for Democrats.

"Those Israelis residing in New York and Florida predominantly vote against Netanyahu .."

Cites?

"... resident Israelis voting in America via absentee ballot vote almost exclusively for the Democrat Party in America as long as it opposes Netanyahu, which it always does."

That's funny, because Google links say the relationship between bibi and the democratic party has been quite cozy for years. https://www.google.com/#q=netanyahu+democratic+party+position

And let me point out that once again you provided no evidence (DAMN that word!) for your assertions and posted something demonstrably false.

Bush won through fraud in multiple states. And then the Supremes stepping in to decide the winner.


There was some Pirate-News-esque stuff that came out about this when Scalia died. Scalia was the deciding vote in that Supreme court decision to stop the recount. Legally speaking whole recount thing was a state level issue, there shouldn't ever have been involvement on a federal level.

And as it turns out, Scalia was a member of a secret hunting society that has connections to the Bohemian Grove. So does the Bush family, George H.W. Bush is a known member of Bohemian Grove.

So they're both members of the same secret society, and we're going to say there wasn't a conflict of interest when Scalia cast the deciding vote?

Interesting stuff.

Although I too think that Al Gore probably wouldn't have been that different from Bush. Granted, the Bush family and Cheney had that whole grudge against Iraq so maybe that war wouldn't have happened, but I think that 9-11 and all the security theatre stuff would have happened anyway. I think that the 9-11 hijackers slipped through the cracks, and would have no matter what, and I think that there's people in the intelligence community that took advantage of it after the fact to erode human rights in America. I think banks failed because of banking acts that had already been passed.

Because it reduces the power of the parties. I don't even have to google it, it's just an obvious logical conclusion.

Why join a party if they can't guarantee that you'll be the only candidate they're putting forward, and therefore the only candidate from that party with a chance to win?

Having mentioned Scalia, the next Supreme Court justice will be another Scalia unless the next President is a Democrat.

Scalia is alleged to be one of the great intellects of conservative jurisprudence, but his comments during oral arguments over a challenge to the 1965 Voting Rights Act displayed all the mental acuity of a third-tier talk radio bozo.

Since Americans are who they are, if they see an opportunity to make money, even if it means, perhaps, crashing the economy, by the holy US dollar they will crash the economy. Americans feel it is their destiny to be wealthy and if they have to smash millions of people’s dreams, too bad for dreams. To stop those crashes means stopping Americans from making all the money they desire. The details about how to stop them are very important. To Bernie, details are unimportant. To Clinton, details are everything.

There is an article about that very subject, contrasting Bernie and Clinton:
www.vox.com/2016/4/13/11415772/clinton-sanders-daily-news
Hillary Clinton does a better job than Bernie Sanders of explaining the details of his bank breakup plan

Hah, I know some lawyers who could tear apart a number of his decisions. They were never logically consistent with each other or the constitution, Scalia just tended to go with whatever was the most convenient interpretation for his interests.

Based on the entire transcript Sig posted, I wouldn't say they were unimportant to Bernie. I found his comments insightful - yes, more fluff and spin than I'd like, of course, but there were more concepts there than, say, Trump's completely unfounded and baseless campaign platforms that have no chance in hell of being implemented.

But I would agree that Hillary's explanation of her policies do have more substance behind them.

This was dumb when posted, and still dumb when quoted.
There are runoff elections all the time. We have primaries to narrow it down to 1 or 2 prime candidates, and then the general election we can vote for the runoff remainders.
